"The European Union already imports more than 60% of its gas and 80% of its oil. As highlighted in the report by Edit Herczog, the EU’s dependence on energy imports is likely to increase over the next decade. In light of this situation, Europe must establish a strategy for cooperation beyond its borders in order to secure its energy supply. Indeed, if the EU as a whole, as a major energy purchaser, defends a common position in this area, it could reap benefits for its interests in the negotiations with border countries. In order to strengthen their geopolitical independence and energy security, the Member States must promote a genuine internal energy market that can withstand external pressures. A secure energy supply also requires diversification of suppliers. In order to diversify its energy sources, the EU must continue to build the infrastructures provided for in the Energy 2020 strategy. Over time, it will also benefit from more strategic energy cooperation with third countries, notably through the Nabucco project and the Africa-EU Energy Partnership."@en1
